The Planning Board members and staff are committed to serving the needs of the public.  To accommodate those who cannot come during regular office hours, most Planning Board information is available by phone, mail, fax, or email.  You may also stop by during our Planning Board meetings (held in the evening) to pick up information if you call ahead. 
 

Areas of Responsibility:
The Planning Board reviews applications for approvals under the Zoning Bylaw and Subdivision Regulations.  This includes Site Plan Review and/or Special Permits for commercial developments, Subdivision Approvals, and endorsement of ANR Plans (plans depicting new lot lines on existing streets).  The Planning Board is also responsible for long-range land use planning for Town of Leicester, including implementation of the Leicester Master Plan.
